I want to play devil's advocate and argue for the war in Iraq.. so let's discuss

IRAN iz Gangsta!:
America is not being very smart and they're heading for destruction if they dont wake up and act right.  They preach one thing and do another and its been proven in history that no empire lasts forever no matter how strong and rich they are.

I know where you are coming from but the associated press has done a number of very good articles documenting that the oil shortage is a scam. What this means is they acquire these oil reserves but restrict the supply thus increasing the price of the oil and furthering their profits. I did post an article about it perhaps you can find it in the archives or for that matter just find it on google.

I think the way a war supporter should respond to that is first by denying the truth of what your saying.  Then second, adding that almost all governments are corrupt out there; if not more corrupt than America's government.  And considering that America has more wealth and power than any nation in the history of the world, you can't pretend that their government wouldn't contain a little corruption.

A war-supporter should respond to this by saying that it's true and possible what yoru saying.  America has always been flawed; but that still it's acted better than most governments.

Samoan Enforcer:
bryan you dont have to be a war supporter to make these points. this is common sense, a point you are finally stumbling on but are too afraid to admit without "playing devils advocate"

J @ M @ L:
This would be more effective if you just "argued" for the war, instead of saying "well to that, a war supporter would say...",  with the title of the thread you implied that you'd be doing the arguing, not pointing out what someone else might say... just my 2 cents.
